Q1A dossier records four claims about the Jnanpith Award: I. G. Sankara Kurup received the award in 1965. II. Ashapoorna Devi received the award in 1976. III. Amrita Pritam received the award in 1976. IV. Amrita Pritam received the award in 1981 and was the first woman to receive the Jnanpith Award. What is the sum of the award years named in the wholly true claims?
Judge each claim on recipient, year, and any first-status clause before summing. Claim I is true: G. Sankara Kurup received the Jnanpith Award in 1965. Claim II is true: Ashapoorna Devi received it in 1976. Claim III is false because Amrita Pritam’s year was 1981, not 1976. Claim IV keeps Amrita’s correct 1981 year but falsely calls her the first woman laureate—Ashapoorna Devi (1976) preceded her—so IV is not wholly true. Only I and II survive; 1965 + 1976 = 3941, which is option A.
Q2A lab tags four unmarked programs from observed behaviour: Q copies from host to host while nobody opens a file or attachment. R first infects stored files and then makes further copies only after a user opens a mailed file. T looks like a helpful installer but performs a hidden harmful action. S plants copies inside documents only after the user visits a crafted page and opens the downloaded file. Let U be how many of {Q, R, T, S} can spread without human interaction. Let V be how many of {Q, R, T, S} primarily disguise themselves as a useful program rather than by infecting other files. Which option is fully correct?
Q spreads host-to-host with no file opening, matching worm-class behaviour that needs no human interaction. R and S both need a user to open a mailed or downloaded file before further copies, matching virus-class spread. T pretends to be a helpful installer while hiding harm, matching Trojan-class disguise. Among the four, only Q spreads without human interaction, so U = 1. Only T primarily disguises itself as a useful program rather than by infecting files, so V = 1. The option that swaps worm/virus labels keeps U = 1 inconsistently; the option with U = 2 over-counts a user-triggered spreader; the option with V = 2 over-counts disguises. Only worm for Q, virus for R and S, Trojan for T, with U = 1 and V = 1, is consistent.
Q3A gateway rewrites private source 192.168.10.17 so the outer path shows one public address. Separately, Device S receives frames and sends each only out the one port that leads toward the intended receiver. The office block is written 192.168.10.0/25. Which statement is fully correct?
A /25 block has 2^(32−25)=128 addresses; subtracting network and broadcast leaves 126 usable hosts. Device S sends each frame only toward the intended receiver’s port, matching a device that channels incoming data to the specific output port for that destination. The gateway rewrite is address translation and is not required for the keyed pair. Keeping all 128 as usable, turning S into a flooder, or using a /26 host count each breaks one chain. Only usable-host 126 with selective port channeling is consistent on both parts.
Q4A status byte holds bits 10110101. Which option correctly reports that byte’s base-8 numeral and the sum of the decimal values of its two base-16 digits?
From the right in threes: 10 110 101 pads to 010 110 101 → base-8 digits 2,6,5 so 265. In fours: 1011 0101 → base-16 digits B and 5; decimal values 11 and 5 sum to 16. Check: 265₈ = 181₁₀ and B5₁₆ = 181₁₀. A groups from the left to 552; B uses 181 as the “sum”; C keeps only 11. Only D reports both derived results.
Q5A record lists four claims about observances: I. International Day of Yoga is observed on 21 June and was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly on a draft introduced by India. II. Hindi Diwas is observed on 14 September and is listed by the United Nations as an official UN international day. III. International Day of Non-Violence is observed on 2 October and was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly. IV. World Environment Day is observed on 5 June and is coordinated primarily by the World Health Organization. What is the sum of the calendar day-numbers named in the wholly true claims?
Judge each claim on date and institutional attribution before summing day-numbers. Claim I is wholly true: International Day of Yoga falls on 21 June and was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly on a draft introduced by India. Claim II keeps the correct Hindi Diwas date 14 September but falsely treats it as a UN international day, so it falls. Claim III is wholly true: International Day of Non-Violence falls on 2 October and was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly. Claim IV keeps the correct 5 June date but wrongly assigns lead coordination to the World Health Organization instead of the UN Environment Programme, so it falls. Only claims I and III survive; 21 + 2 = 23.

6A diagnostic dump prints the bit string 10101110. Which option correctly pairs that string’s base-16 numeral with how many of its bits equal 1?
7An office carves the block 192.168.40.64/27 for lab PCs. Device S receives frames and sends each only out the one port that leads toward the intended receiver. Let H be the usable host count on that block. Let B be that block’s broadcast address. Which statement is fully correct?
8Match List-I with List-II and answer the question that follows. List-I (Organisation) 1. International Monetary Fund 2. UNESCO 3. International Bank for Reconstruction and Development 4. World Health Organization List-II (Headquarters) a. Paris b. Geneva c. Washington, D.C. d. New York Which code correctly matches all four organisations to their headquarters and also states the calendar year in which the organisation headquartered in Geneva was founded?
9A controller drives 19 address lines into a store where each address selects exactly one byte. The highest 4096 addresses are reserved for memory-mapped device registers and are not part of main working RAM. After mains fail, Module P is empty while Module Q still holds the first instructions the controller fetches at reset. Let R be the main working RAM size expressed as a count of 2^10-byte blocks. Which option is fully correct?
